Caps are VERY good filters of AC. This confirms my suspicions of a dying alternator!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Sounds like time for a new/rebuilt alternator, or at least a new rectifier bridge.

The cap is just going to kill the alt more quickly, right?

Or should this thread be closed because the car is out of your shop (permanently, b/c of the trouble)?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I just stopped having Ferrari nightmares! Actually the car left the shop trouble free and I don't think the stereo will ever be played loud enough to effect the alternator.
